Could this election get any weirder? You bet it could! What makes this totally ironic is that it is completely constitutional, while being downright bizarre. Even if (more likely when) Donald Trump becomes the GOP nominee for president, and even if (god forbid) he can win a clear majority of the popular vote, there is […]
One of my favorite sites, electoral-vote.com, asks a very good question that I haven’t heard before: “How would Donald Trump Fund a General Election Campaign?” Most people assume he would just fund it himself with some of his billions, but it doesn’t work that way. A big percentage of Trump’s net worth is in his […]
I don’t actually believe that Trump is comparable to Hitler, but you gotta admit that Trump is using some of the same tactics and language: UPDATE: It appears the video has been removed. You can see it at https://www.citizensuperpac.com/heil-trump.
“There were more caucuses and primaries over the weekend. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz each won two states. Rubio won Puerto Rico. Bernie Sanders won a few states. Hillary Clinton won big in Louisiana. Everyone went home with a win letter just like soccer camp. Even John Kasich got one for participation.” – Jimmy Kimmel […]

An interesting article explores Trump’s claim that he is drawing in new voters to the Republican party. This may be true, but there is another explanation. Most people don’t vote, and in primary elections it is even worse. Yes, there are more Republicans voting in the presidential primaries this year than usual. But so far, […]

“Hillary Clinton came up a lot during the debate. At one point, Ted Cruz even asked Trump why he wrote four checks to Hillary for her campaign in 2008. Trump said, ‘Look, with all the women I have to write checks to every month, it’s easy to get carried away.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Marco Rubio […]
You knew it was going to happen. Marco Rubio has explicitly blamed Obama for the hatred and violence coming out of the Republican party. That seems to be a huge stretch, even for a party that wants to blame the foreign, Muslim, socialist, fascist black person for everything. UPDATE: And now Rubio has suspended his […]
Important story about how a community organizer who has been protesting police killings of unarmed people (especially blacks), participated in a police training exercise to get a better understanding of the situation: We have a bad tendency in this country that when a few people of a specific group do something really bad, that we […]
© Ruben Bolling I admit that I don’t really know how this movie will turn out. Will it have a happy ending? Will it have any ending at all? Will it result in the destruction of the Republican party (as we know it), or the destruction of America (at least our dream of America)? Did […]
What does Pi Day have to do with politics? I have no idea! I guess I just wanted to have a well-rounded website!
“Chris Christie stood right behind Trump at his victory speech last night and a lot of people noticed that Christie didn’t look too happy about it. Christie’s face is basically America’s face. It’s like: It’s really happening?” – Jimmy Fallon “The biggest story yesterday wasn’t about Trump or Clinton victories. It was Chris Christie’s face […]
http://isidewith.com has a short quiz on major issues facing our presidential candidates and voters trying to pick a candidate. While is is not clear (especially in this election) whether people even care about where candidates stand on the issues, it is interesting to see which candidates hold views similar to your own.
“During the debate, people noticed there was a woman who kept screaming in the audience. Then Hillary was like, ‘I’m sorry – I just love how this is going! Perfect! Couldn’t be more perfect!’” – Jimmy Fallon “Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara were in attendance for the debate. Or as Jeb […]
Every 52 years, the Republican Party implodes. The GOP was formed in 1854 and elected Abraham Lincoln in 1860. 52 years later, on 1912, the GOP had a civil war and Teddy Roosevelt split off from the Republicans supporting William Howard Taft, into the Progressive (Bull Moose) party, allowing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to become president.
